Full Moon Eclipse Photos from Hawaii

The full moon turned dark from the earth’s shadow on February 20, 2008. This was the first full-moon, or total lunar, eclipse this year. The last one happened on March 3, 2007.

I observed this event from a remote mountain top in Chile (that’s in South America for those who are geographically challenged). It was the first time I’ve seen an eclipse south of the equator, which means we got excited and snapped over 100 pictures. But no worries, I’ll post only the best few here.
